  1. Bluefire M2 alternative

    I'd suggest Nittaku Fastarc series. For me, S-1 and C-1 (both have 45 degree rubber hardness) perform well on my backhand and forehand, respectively. It lasts quite long and I play with it appr. 4-6 hours a week.
  2. How many fake left-handers are there?

    Fun fact, TT legend Andrzej Grubba was the opposite. Natural left-hander who played with his right hand. I think it was because in those times, people were supersticious (religious stuff, I think, thinking left hand is 'wrong hand', etc.) and were forcing left handed people to 'switch' to their...
  3. Aliexpress Anniversary Sale 2025

    So.....saw that Aliexpress had a big sale on TT items. Never bought from that site before but I saw that there were 2 Loki Kirin K1 and K2 blades for about 10 PLN each (about 2 euro each). Bought two along with Double Fish Volant Phoenix for 22 PLN (about 6 euro) in 37 degrees hardness. 40 PLN...

    As I wrote above : 22 PLN, so at current rate, little over 6 euro.

  6. Non-carbon fibre blades

    Well, I only say how I felt and it felt really good for me. I play a more allround style with emphasis on active blocking and Diablo Senso felt really good for me during matches and training. Only thing I didn't like was the handle which was little too thick for me (Stiga Master handle is...
  7. Non-carbon fibre blades

    Don't know how much speed you want from the blade and I think it is discontinued but I've played with Donic Waldner Diablo Senso (3 ply wood + 2 glassfiber) Amazing feel, light and good speed for me :).
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So....went for a bit of training session in my club (I was only person in the group over 15 years old so me being 32.....felt a bit old xD ). Did few basic elements (Forehand + Backhand topspin, serve, recieve -> attack 3rd ball, practising countering topspins). Then came the games....Dang those...
  9. Rubber recommendations for a counter-attacker

    I never played with G-1 myself but from what I've heard, they are more controllable (G-1 has 47.5 hardness while S-1 and C-1 have 45 degrees sponge hardness.) I can say that from my experience, S-1 is more oriented towards speed while C-1 is more oriented towards spin. Both are best suited for...
  10. Rubber recommendations for a counter-attacker

    As I play little bit of a counter style close to the table from both sides, I'd recommend Nittaku Fastarc series. I use C-1 on my forehand and S-1 on backhand. I really like S-1 on my backhand : blocking is really nice with it, backhand flicks are consistent and going over the net and on the...
  11. Medium hard rubber for backhand

    I'd recommend Nittaku Fastarc S-1 :). Medium rubber, great for blocking and punches, good serve recieve
  12. DHS Hurricane 9 - asking for opinions

    What about the hardness ? How hard you'd say it was ?
  13. Expensive table tennis blades.. why not?

    In my opinion (and that opinion is just mine, so do with it as you will), with right technique you can generate just as much spin, power and place balls well with expensive blades with carbon layer or other stuff and with a less expensive, all wood type blade of same type (OFF, ALL, etc.). Not...
  14. DHS Hurricane 9 - asking for opinions

    Hello everyone :) I saw the video on youtube about DHS Hurricane 9 rubber and was intrigued by it. I wanted to try a DHS rubber on my forehand, since I need to practice on my stroke and I thought that kind of rubber would help with it, forcing to use body and arm correctly and all that. I wanted...
  15. Which top player(s) inspired you to play?

    I actually got into table tennis because I just liked it when I began playing with my first pre-made bat :) Later, when I got playing with a group of friends and started to watch some matches on TV, I'd say those that influenced me the most are : Kalinikos Kreanga - for his backhand...
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Well, managed to get 2 hours of practice today with my teammate. We usually do the routine of pushes, H and X drills, topspin, etc. I think we both got better :). I am starting to finally use the entire body to generate topspin on my forehand instead of just my arm, but it's a slow process. Got...
  17. What is your second passion?

    Volleyball !!! :D I love playing it, actually been playing it longer than table tennis. My mother used to play when she was a student so I suppose I got it from her. I've been playing with my friend (who is in the same table tennis club as me :D, as matter of fact, we got our second doubles win...

    Good evening everyone :). Just won by 4th league match in a row :D. Finally my win percantage is at 50%, so I can stop hiding in a cave from other members of my team :P. My forehand still needs some work :( but I finally managed to learn how to perform backhand flick to recieve serve. Our next...

    I currently live in Bytom, in Silesia. I drive to Gliwice to train and play for the club.

    Had my first league single match in my life :D. I'm slightly bald person on the front in dark shirt. Representing 3rd team (Team C) of my club :). I'm in middle of losing some weight here, so my footwork is a bit slow. Lost that set 17-19 :/, very close match. In the end I won 3:1. Using my new...
